Introduction 

DAVID  T.  VALENTINE 

OUR  city's  chronicler"  is  the  honora- 
ble title  bestowed  upon  Mr.  David 
Thomas  Valentine  by  his  contempo- 
rary, the  genial  gentleman,  popular  physician, 
and  entertaining  local  historian,  Dr.  John  W. 
Francis.  The  pity  of  it  is,  that  Mr.  Valentine 
did  not  appear  earlier  upon  the  scene  in  the 
role  he  filled  so  admirably,  for  the  custodians  of 
the  City's  records  before  his  advent,  apparently 
had  little  or  no  conception  of  the  historical 
value  of  the  papers  committed  to  their  care,  and 
were  far  from  being  Cerberean  in  their  watch- 
fulness, to  judge  from  the  number  of  valuable 
municipal  documents  that  found  their  way,  from 
time  to  time,  into  second-hand  book-  and  print- 
shops,  and  so  passed  on  into  the  outstretched 
hands  of  covetous  autograph-  and  relic-hunters. 
Mr.  Valentine  comments  on  this  negligence 
in  the  care  and  keeping   of  the  Dutch  records 


INTRODUCTION 

of  the  City  in  a  letter  written  to  Mr.  Henry  B. 
Dawson,  Editor  of  the  "  Historical  Magazine," 
dated  January  2,  1867,  from  which  we  extract 
the  following  paragraph : 

"They  were  not  very  attentively  cared  for, 
having  been  without  readers  for  probably  a  cen- 
tury and  more.  No  attempt  had  been  made  to 
translate  them ;  and  of  the  history  of  New  Am- 
sterdam and  of  the  times  in  which  lived  and 
acted  the  revered  fathers  of  our  City  and  State, 
which  has  since  been  so  fully  revealed,  so  large 
a  portion  was  not  supposed  to  lie  hidden  in  these 
dusty,  unbound  and  forbidding  volumes." 

With  this  letter  to  Mr.  Dawson,  Mr.  Valen- 
tine encloses  the  following  resolution  passed  by 
the  Common  Council : 

IN    COMMON    COUNCIL 

Resolved,  That  permission  is  hereby  given  to 
Henry  B.  Dawson,  Editor  of  the  "  Historical  Maga- 
zine," to  make  copies  of  and  to  publish  in  that  work, 
from  time  to  time,  such  portions  of  the  ancient  Rec- 
ords of  this  Corporation  and  such  of  its  papers  on  file 
as,  in  his  opinion,  shall  serve  to  illustrate  the  early  his- 
tory of  this  State  and  City,  and  the  character  and  habits 
of  the  inhabitants,  provided  the  same  shall  be  done 
under  the  direction  and  supervision  of  the  Clerk  of 


INTRODUCTION 

the  Common  Council ;  and  that  the  said  Records  shall 
not  be  removed  from  the  Clerk's  office. 

Adopted  by  the  Board  of  Aldermen,  December  6, 
1866. 

Adopted  by  the  Board  of  Councilmen,  December 
10,  1866. 

Adopted  by  his  Honor  the  Mayor,  December  13, 
1866. 

D.  T.  Valentine, 
Clerk  of  the  Common  Council. 

Mr.  Dawson  found  that  these  records  of  the 
Corporation  extended  no  further  back  than  the 
last  of  May,  1647,  when  Peter  Stuyvesant  was 
Governor,  but  from  that  time  on  Mr.  Dawson 
writes,  "  there  is  an  unbroken  record  save  only 
where  a  single  volume  of  a  comparatively  recent 
period,  has  been  abstracted  from  the  archives." 

A  notable  instance  of  carelessness  on  the 
part  of  those  in  charge  of  the  City's  documents 
came  to  light  in  the  sale  in  1  864  of  the  books, 
prints  and  bric-a-brac  of  the  venerable  book- 
hunter,  John  Allan.  The  letter  of  General 
Washington  in  reply  to  the  Address  of  the  Cor- 
poration of  the  City  of  New  York,  conferring 
upon  him  the  freedom  of  the  city  in  1785,  was 
knocked  down  for  $2,050,  but  the  proof  of 
ownership   in    this    case  was   a    simple    matter

INTRODUCTION 

and  the  letter  was  at  once  reclaimed  by  the  City. 
If  so  important  a  document  as  this  could  escape 
from  the  City's  guardianship,  what  others  of 
less  value  might  not  follow  in  its  wake  ?  It  is 
not  necessary  to  conclude,  however,  that  these 
things  came  to  pass  through  intentional  dis- 
honesty, but  probably  were  the  result  of  igno- 
rance, the  room  occupied  by  these  yellow,  musty 
papers  being  adjudged  more  desirable  than  their 
company. 

It  was  indeed  fortunate  that  a  man  of  anti- 
quarian tastes  and  imbued  with  civic  love  and 
pride  enjoyed  the  opportunities  that  fell  to  the 
lot  of  Mr.  Valentine  under  the  patronage  of  our 
city  fathers,  also  that  he  possessed  the  patience 
and  perseverance  to  dig  and  delve  among  these 
dingy  records  of  the  past  (or  compensate  some 
one  to  do  it  for  him)  and  had  the  enterprise  to 
print  and  illustrate  the  results  of  his  investiga- 
tions. Valentine's  "  Manuals  of  the  Corporation 
of  the  City  of  New  York"  are  indeed  a  mine 
of  wealth  to  every  one  who  is  interested  in  the 
history  of  this  great  city.  Their  editor  appears 
to  have  unearthed  nearly  every  painting,  print, 
drawing  and  map  of  importance  that  bears  any 
relation  to  our  city,  from  the  earliest  settlement 
of  the  Island  of  Manhattan  down  to  the  middle 


INTRODUCTION 

of  the  last  century.  These  he  reproduced  by 
means  of  lithography  and  chromo-lithography, 
for  happily  it  was  before  the  day  of  the  half-tone 
print. 

For  some  unknown  reason,  most  of  these  re- 
productions are  without  any  indication  of  the 
sources  from  which  they  were  derived.  They 
usually  bear  merely  the  inscription  "copied  for 
D.  T.  Valentine's  Manual  by  G.  Hayward,  120 
Water  St.,"  et  al.  So  uniform  is  Mr.  Valentine's 
practice  in  this  respect  that  we  are  led  to  believe 
that  it  was  premeditated,  but  this  secretiveness 
on  his  part  has  only  served  to  whet  our  curiosity, 
and  the  genesis  of  only  a  very  few  of  the  views 
he  reproduced  now  remains  a  mystery. 

To  the  young  and  inexperienced  collector, 
the  prints  in  "Valentine's  Manual"  are  invaluable 
as  sign-boards,  if  nothing  more.  They  point  to 
prints  of  Old  New  York  the  existence  of  which 
he  would  never  otherwise  have  imagined,  and 
lead  him  onward  in  a  search  which  in  many 
cases  will  prove  fruitless,  but,  occasionally  may 
be  crowned  with  success. 

David  Thomas  Valentine  was  born  in  East 
Chester,  N.  Y.,  on  the  1  5th  of  September,  1 80 1 . 
He  attended  school  at  White  Plains,  and  when 
about  sixteen  years  of  age  came  to  the  City  of

INTRODUCTION 

New  York.  He  obtained  a  position  with  a 
grocer  in  whose  service  he  remained  for  several 
years  prior  to  his  appointment  as  Clerk  to  the 
Marine  Court.  In  1830  he  became  Deputy  to 
the  Clerk  of  the  Common  Council.  His  chief 
was  Major  General  Jacob  Morton,  who  had 
served  as  Clerk  for  twenty-one  years.  General 
Morton  was  a  prominent  politician  and  a  man 
of  high  standing  in  the  community.  His  wife  was 
the  daughter  of  Carey  Ludlow,  who  in  1768 
purchased  a  parcel  of  land  from  Abraham  Lym- 
sen  on  which  he  later  erected  a  dignified  dwell- 
ing, of  which  there  is  an  illustration  in  the 
Manual  for  i860,  and  which  is  still  standing  at 
No.  9  State  Street.  Mrs.  Morton  inherited  this 
dwelling  from  her  father.  In  1824  General  and 
Mrs.  Morton  gave  a  ball  in  honor  of  Lafayette 
at  this  residence.  General  Morton  continued 
as  Clerk  of  the  Common  Council  until  his  death 
in  1836.  His  successor  was  Thomas  Bolton, 
who  served  until  1841.  S.  J.  Willis  then  filled 
the  office  for  a  year,  and  again  after  an  interval 
of  one  year  (during  which  J.  R.  Taylor  was 
Clerk)  Mr.  Willis  occupied  the  position  for  an- 
other year.  C.  A.  Whitney  succeeded  Mr.  Wil- 
lis, and  after  twelve  months'  time  was  succeeded 
in  1  845  by  the  subject  of  our  sketch.

INTRODUCTION 


In  January,  1868,  after  a  service  of  thirty- 
seven  years  as  Deputy  Clerk  and  Clerk  of  the 
Corporation,  Mr.  Valentine  was  superseded  in 
office  by  Joseph  Shannon  and  he  died  in  this 
city  the  following  year  (February  25,  1869). 
His  death  was  perhaps  hastened,  as  suggested  bv 
Dr.  Kendrick  in  his  funeral  address,  by  the  loss 
of  the  position  the  "  old  and  faithful  clerk  "  had 
held  so  many  years.  The  forced  or  voluntary 
relinquishment  at  an  advanced  age  of  the  pur- 
suits of  a  lifetime  often  speedily  ushers  in  the 
final  scene,  and  the  superannuated  man,  without 
an  occupation,  is  apt  soon  to  join  the  great  ma- 
jority. 

Mr.  Valentine  was  buried  from  the  Baptist 
Tabernacle  Church  (still  standing)  on  Second 
Avenue,  adjoining  the  building  of  the  New  York 
Historical  Society. 

In  1 85 1,  the  Common  Council  voted  an  ap- 
propriation of  five  hundred  dollars  for  the  pur- 
chase of  a  portrait  of  Mr.  Valentine  in  token 
of  its  esteem  and  recognition  of  his  long  and 
faithful  services.  It  was  painted  by  C.  W. 
Jarvis,  an  artist  of  some  ability.

1853),  as  tne  title-page  reads,  was,  in  truth,  ac- 
cording to  Joseph  Sabin  Senior  (see  his  "  Biblio- 
theca  Americana,"  Vol.  XIV,  p.  254),  compiled 
by  W.  K.  Paulding.  Mr.  Valentine's  name  is 
also  attached  to  a  "Documentary  History  of  New 
York,"  only  the  first  volume  of  which  was  ever 
published ;  likewise  to  a  "  Compilation  of  the 
laws  of  the  State  of  New  York  "  relating  particu- 
larly to  the  City  of  New  York,  published  in 
1  862,  and  a  "  Compilation  of  the  existing  Ferry 
Leases  and  Railroad  Grants  made  by  the  Cor- 
poration of  the  City  of  New  York,  etc.,  N.  Y., 
1  866."  The  revision  of  the  City  Ordinances  in 
1859  and  1862  were  also  prepared  by  him,  by 
order  of  the  Common  Council,  but  the  work  by 
which  he  is  most  widely  known  is  the  "  Manual 
of  the  Corporation  of  the  City  of  New  York  "  in 
twenty-five  successive  annual  volumes,  com- 
menced in  1 841  and  conducted  by  Mr.  Valen- 
tine until  1  866. 

The  first  Manual  (184 1-2)  was  printed  "by 
order  of  the  Common  Council"  and  copy- 
righted in  1 84 1  "by  Samuel  J.  Willis,  in  be- 
half of  the  Corporation  of  the  City  of  New 
York."  The  reason  for  the  publication  is  given 
in  the  preface  thus :  "  It  having  been  thought 
expedient  to   enlarge  the  substance  of  the   City

Hall  Directory,  as  heretofore  annually  published, 
by  the  introduction  of  additional  matter  inter- 
esting and  useful  to  members  of  the  Corporation 
and  others  connected  with  them,  the  contents 
and  form  of  this  volume  have  been  selected  as 
most  useful  and  convenient  for  reference." 

It  is  a  small  volume  of  185  pages  bound 
in  black  muslin,  4^  inches  tall  and  3^  inches 
wide.  Its  sole  illustration  is  a  folding  map  of 
the  City  in  1841.  The  list  of  contents  is  here 
transcribed  to  show  the  general  character  of  the 
publication  at  the  time  of  its  humble  beginning. 
Most  of  the  items  in  this  list  are  repeated  in 
each  of  the  subsequent  volumes.  The  growth 
of  the  work  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  in  this 
volume  one  small  page  suffices  for  the  list  of 
contents,  while  ten  pages  are  requisite  for  this 
same  purpose  in  the  volume  for  1866.

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  this  Manual  re- 
cords the  debt  of  the  City  as  $8,978,167.  The 
population  in  1840  was  312,852.  At  the  elec- 
tion for  Mayor  held  on  April  13,  1841,  Mr. 
Robert  H.  Morris  was  chosen  by  a  vote  of  18,-

who  received  18,206  votes  and  Mr.  Samuel  F. 
B.  Morse,  who  received  but  yy  votes.  How 
small  a  following  for  one  who  so  soon  was  to 
bless  humanity  at  large  with  his  great  inven- 
tion! The  salary  of  the  Mayor  in  this  year  was 
$3,000,  and  that  of  Mr.  Valentine  as  Assistant 
Clerk  $1,700. 

The  second  volume  of  the  Manual  ( 1  842-3) 
bears  the  name  of  D.  T.  Valentine  on  the  title- 
page.  It  contains  a  lithographic  view  of  the 
Croton  Dam,  a  map  of  the  City  in  1842,  and  a 
fac-simile,  on  very  thin  paper  (almost  a  tissue 
paper),  of  the  Bradford  Map,  with  the  errone- 
ous date  of  1728  affixed.  In  the  volume  for 
1844-5  this  maP  1S  agam  reproduced  on  simi- 
larly thin  paper,  for  what  particular  reason  we 
are  unable  to  surmise,  for  no  other  maps  in  the 
Manual  are  printed  upon  paper  of  this  gossamer 
texture. 

The  Preface  to  the  Manual  for  1842-3  re- 
cites that  "The  Manual  published  last  year  hav- 
ing been  received  with  marked  approbation 
.  .  .  for  its  value  as  a  reference  to  our  City 
affairs  ;  and  as  the  edition  is  entirely  exhausted 
.  .  .  it  has  been  deemed  advisable  to  publish 
the  present  work,  which   it  will  be  perceived  is

INTRODUCTION 

much  larger  than  the  preceding  one."  The 
Table  of  Contents  contains  fifty  items  as  against 
twenty-six  in  the  previous  volume.  The  third 
Manual  (1843-4)  was  printed  by  Wm.  C.  Bry- 
ant, and  for  it,  as  the  preface  announces  "much 
new  matter  had  been  selected,  never  before 
published  in  any  work  of  this  character,  which 
will  not  only  be  useful  to  the  municipal  authori- 
ties and  their  officers,  but  to  every  class  of  our 
citizens." 

Historical  data,  extracts  from  early  news- 
papers, etc.,  appear  for  the  first  time  in  the  vol- 
ume for  1844-5.  Thenceforth  these  transcripts 
are  prominent  features  of  the  Manual  and  be- 
come more  and  more  copious  as  the  years  roll 
by;  while  the  pictures  (lithographs  for  the  full- 
page  illustrations  and  woodcuts  in  the  text) 
multiply  with  corresponding  rapidity.  The  sub- 
jects of  these  illustrations  by  degrees  become 
more  modern  in  character  as  the  supply  of  early 
views  was  gradually  exhausted. 

The  volume  for  1845-6  gives  the  resolution 
of  the  Board  authorizing  its  issue,  as  follows: 
"  Resolved,  that  the  Clerk  of  this  Board,  David 
T.  Valentine,  be  requested  to  prepare  a  Manual 
of  the  Corporation  of  the  City  of  New  York  for 
the  years  1845  anc^  1846."     This  resolution  was 

XX 


INTRODUCTION 


approved  by  the  Mayor,  Wm.  F.  Havemeyer, 
January  21,  1846. 

In  the  preface  to  this  Manual  it  is  stated 
that  "in  the  selection  of  materials  the  Compiler 
flatters  himself  that  he  has  bestowed  unusual 
care,  and  has  diligently  explored  the  civic  rec- 
ords and  annals  of  our  Municipal  Government 
from  the  earliest  period,  he  fully  believes  that 
he  has  rescued  many  facts  and  interesting  docu- 
ments from  oblivion,  to  which  they  were  has- 
tening down  the  stream  of  time." 

The  volume  for  1844-5  is  taller  by  one  inch 
than  its  predecessors,  and  in  1849  tne  Manual 
was  still  further  enlarged  to  a  duodecimo  and  was 
continued  in  this  form  until  the  end  of  the  series 
with  which  Mr.  Valentine  was  connected. 

The  preface  to  this  volume  contains  the 
following  note :  "  The  reader  is  most  respectfully 
requested  to  examine  that  portion  of  the  work 
that  relates  to  the  doings  of  our  ancestors  in 
early  times.  .  .  .  To  the  rising  generation  he 
would  say,  that  the  sayings  and  doings  of  those 
who  found  this  Island  a  barren  waste  and  laid 
here  the  foundations  of  this  City  ought  to  be  of 
intense  interest." 

The  preface  to  the  Manual  for  1856,  from 
which  we  are  about  to  quote  at  some  length,

INTRODUCTION 

should  appeal  strongly  to  the  members  of  the 
Society  of  Iconophiles,  for  it  breathes  the  same 
spirit  that  led  to  the  formation  of  that  Society, 
and  which  has  held  together  that  little  band  of 
lovers  of  old  New  York. 

"The  Compiler  of  this  Manual  for  1856 
thinks  it  not  improper  to  advert  to  the  fact 
.  .  .  that  his  efforts  to  perpetuate  therein  the 
old  landmarks  of  our  City  by  engravings  and 
historical  sketches  of  the  olden  time  have  ex- 
cited an  approving  sentiment  in  the  public 
mind.  .  .  .  This  has  been  anticipated  by  him, 
for  in  no  other  way  than  by  establishing  a  well- 
known  medium,  through  which  the  relics  of 
the  past  could  be  presented  to  the  public,  could 
the  many  interesting  memorials  hidden  among 
the  family  archives  of  the  descendants  of  ancient 
stock,  be  brought  into  public  notice.  It  is 
from  such  individual  resources  that  many  of 
the  views  which  have  never  before  been  en- 
graved and  published,  have  been  furnished,  and 
he  has  besides  found  several  gentlemen  who 
from  love  of  the  subject  itself,  have  lent  their 
active  co-operation  in  searching  out  and  present- 
ing for  publication  such  mementos  of  the  past 
as  they  were  able  to  discover.  But  the  subject 
is  not  by  any  means  exhausted  ;  and,  indeed,  the 


INTRODUCTION 

Compiler  has  every  reason  to  anticipate  still 
more  interesting  contributions  for  any  future 
number  of  the  Manual  that  may  be  published 
so  that  it  is  probable  that  a  full  series  of  this 
work  will  present  an  epitome  of  our  early  his- 
tory, which  could  not,  through  another  means, 
be  reasonably  expected  to  be  presented  to  the 
public.  Taking  into  consideration  the  interest 
with  which  our  local  history  has  always  been 
regarded  by  our  community  and  the  present 
rapid  progress  of  the  City  which  promises  soon 
to  obliterate  all  the  natural  landmarks  of  the 
island,  the  Compiler  thinks  it  not  inappropriate 
to  venture  his  approval  of  suggestions  which 
have  been  made  in  respect  to  the  preservation 
of  views  of  such  localities  as  now  present  no- 
ticeable features  in  the  natural  formation  of  the 
island,  of  old  dwellings,  farmhouses,  country- 
seats,  etc.,  as  well  as  of  the  more  prominent 
buildings,  private  and  public,  which  denote  the 
present  fashions  of  architecture.  It  is  provid- 
ing for  future  generations  what  we  greatly 
wish  had  been  provided  for  us,  for  there  are 
many  now  among  us  who  would  look  upon  a 
crude  sketch  of  old  Burgomaster  Van  Cortland's 
residence,  or  the  Damen  farmhouse,  or  a  line  of 
dwellings  in  Broadway  a  century  ago;  or,  indeed,

any  picture  of  localities  now  obliterated  rather 
than  upon  the  finest  gem  of  modern  art." 

Many  of  the  historical  and  biographical  ar- 
ticles in  the  Manuals  are  signed  by  the  con- 
tributors, among  them  being  Henry  B.  Dawson, 
R.  G.  Horton  and  John  Gilmary  Shea.  The  ex- 
tracts from  early  newspapers  were  supplied 
principally  (the  writer  is  informed)  by  William 
Kelby,  late  Librarian  of  the  New  York  His- 
torical Society.  Among  the  most  interesting  of 
these  extracts  are  those  which  relate  to  the 
evacuation  of  the  City  of  New  York,  pages  772- 
844  in  the  Manual  of   1870. 

The  first  statement  in  the  Manuals  of  the 
number  of  copies  issued  is  found  in  the  volume 
for  1864.  In  this  year  9,000  copies  were 
ordered  printed.  The  edition  for  1865  con- 
sisted of  10,000  copies,  that  for  1866  the  same. 
The  resolution  authorizing  the  issue  for  1866 
carried  an  appropriation  of  $3,500  to  D.  T. 
Valentine  to  compensate  him  for  his  labor. 
Mayor  Hoffman  vetoed  this  resolution,  but  it  was 
passed  by  a  two-thirds  vote  over  his  veto.  At 
this  time  Mr.  Valentine's  salary  was  $5,000  and 
he  received  $150  additional  for  the  preparation 
of  the  minutes  of  the  board  for  publication. 

The  last   Manual   prepared    under  Mr.  Val- 


INTRODUCTION 

entine's  supervision  was  the  one  for  1866.  It 
is  a  volume  of  836  pages,  and  presents  a  remark- 
able contrast  to  the  little  square  black-cloth- 
covered  booklet  of  185  pages  with  which  the 
series  began. 

No  Manual  was  issued  in  1867,  but  one  ap- 
peared the  following  year  prepared  by  the  newly 
appointed  Clerk,  Joseph  Shannon.  This  is 
readily  distinguishable  from  its  predecessors  by 
its  size,  for  it  is  an  octavo  instead  of  the  stere- 
otyped small  octavo  of  all  its  forerunners  save 
the  first  five  volumes. 

Of  this  Manual  15,000  copies  were  issued. 
500  were  assigned  to  the  Mayor,  4,500  to  the 
Clerk  of  the  Common  Council,  5,000  to  the 
Board  of  Aldermen,  and  5,000  to  the  Board  of 
Councilmen.  In  his  preface  Mr.  Shannon  pays 
this  tribute  to  his  predecessor:  "The  enviable 
reputation  secured  for  former  editions  of  the 
work  by  the  original  compiler,  imposed  the 
duty  upon  his  successor  of  endeavoring  to  pre- 
serve it." 

The  Manual  for  1869  was  also  issued  by 
Mr.  Shannon  and  in  the  preface  he  states  that 
"he  has  been  aided  by  the  kind  tender  of  ac- 
cess to  a  most  extensive  and  valuable  collection 
of  original  letters  and  papers  of  an  ante-revolu-

tionary  date,  in  possession  of  T.  Bailey  Meyers,  re- 
lating to  the  history  of  the  Province  and  the  City 
of  New  York,  and  he  has  drawn  heavily  upon  the 
store  so  generously  placed  at  his  disposal." 

In  1870  John  Hardy,  who  had  succeeded 
Shannon  in  the  Clerkship,  prepared  and  pub- 
lished the  last  of  these  convenient  hand-books 
of  the  Common  Council  of  the  Corporation  of 
the  City  of  New  York.  Since  then  our  City 
fathers  have  been  obliged  to  discharge  the  duties 
of  their   office  without  this  assistance. 

The  first  five  volumes  of  the  Manual  are  in 
a  class  by  themselves,  they  are,  and  long  have 
been,  rare  books,  but  the  large  editions  of  the 
succeeding  volumes  must  have  supplied  every 
one  connected  with  the  city  Government  from 
His  Honor  the  Mayor,  down  to  the  doorkeepers 
of  the  Aldermanic  and  Common  Council  Cham- 
bers with  as  many  copies  as  he  required  for 
distribution  among  his  friends  and  constituents. 
Those  intended  for  general  circulation  were  uni- 
formly bound  in  cloth,  but  those  laid  upon 
the  desks  of  the  members  of  the  Aldermen  and 
Councilmen  were  resplendent  in  red  Turkey 
Morocco  gilt,  with  the  name  of  the  recipient 
lettered  in  gold  upon  the  sides. 

In  consequence  of  this  wide  distribution  at 


INTRODUCTION 

the  City's  expense,  Valentine's  Manual  plates 
were  for  years  a  glut  in  the  market,  and  so 
plentiful  were  they  in  the  print-shops  that  extra- 
illustrators  avoided  them  as  too  commonplace 
for  their  purpose,  but  gradually  they  became  ab- 
sorbed and  as  the  supply  steadily  diminished, 
they  have  correspondingly  increased  in  popularity 
and  enhanced  in  value.  With  a  number  of  these 
plates,  however,  it  has  always  been  with  the 
collector  a  case  of  Hobson's  choice.  It  was 
either  a  Manual  picture  of  the  landmark  of 
which  he  was  in  search  or  none  at  all. 

A  trustworthy  guide  through  the  labyrinth 
of  this  mass  of  pictorial  matter  seemed  de- 
sirable in  the  eyes  of  the  Iconophiles  and  there- 
fore they  have  caused  this  Index  to  the  Illustra- 
tions in  the  Manuals  of  the  Corporation  of  the 
City  of  New  York,  prepared  by  the  Secretary 
of  their  Society  with  great  care  and  labor,  to  be 
printed  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  wish  to 
gather  and  preserve  memorials  of  this  ever- 
changing  City  of  ours.
